Device: kobo, kindle 3
I bought my kobo because of its low price a few months ago. I thought I would love the simple concept of having a basic reader that does nothing but allow you to read books. In fact I did love my kobo, until my K3 arrived. I agree with some people who said that there's no contest, there really isn't. I thought I would be fine without any wireless connection until I tried sampling before buying and buying from device. I've heard that there will be an upgraded version of kobo coming soon which will have WIFI so that's good to know. Kindle has a screen with about 70% better contrast than kobo's, yes I mean it, 70%. The page turn on kindle is about three times as fast as kobo's. Kindle has a collection feature which is essential to me, and the ability to search book is a big plus. I went for kobo once when the kindle was over 100 bucks more expensive, and now they're at the same price line, why not get a device with a better screen, better features and more functions? Kindle don't support epub, so what? It's not like kobo support mobi or AWZ, hell kobo doen't even supprot TXT, and the last time I checked, Amazon carries way more titles than any other epub book sellers.
